Unfortunately, that might just be the case, as the Egyptian King hobbled off the pitch yesterday with an apparent hamstring injury.
The injury was confirmed by Egyptian National Team Director Ibrahim Hassan, who reportedly confirmed it from Liverpool’s physio’s. “Mohamed Salah is suffering from a muscle tear and will be out of action for four weeks,” Hassan reported. Egypt, no doubt, are also concerned about Salah’s availability for reasons that are frankly beyond me.
There’s definitely not a World Cup (as far as I am willing to acknowledge). This means that Salah might be fit for Brentford on the last day of the season, but that’s no guarantee. As much as we’d all love to give Salah a proper send off, and as much as Salah surely wants to finish his Liverpool career on the pitch, no one would want to see him rushed back and potentially miss [insert summer tournament here].
If this report is accurate, then it’s possible that Salah kicked his last ball for Liverpool. Truly the end of an era. Hopefully we’ll get one last Salah appearance, and one last Salah moment of magic in the last match.
